As a child Piia Maria was hopelessly addicted to knitting and crocheting. This passion was so huge that she would learn the most challenging techniques at very young age. Little would she know that some day she would design knitting patterns for her living. This became reality at 2013 when she started the collaboration with the Finnish yarn wholesale company Tekstiiliteollisuus OY. Now her designs are regularly published on all the main crafts magazines in Finland.
